Kingdom of Shadows (1998)

 
KINGDOM OF SHADOWS  (1998)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Bret Wood
A documentary on horror in silent cinema, from "Nosferatu" to "Vampyr" to "Witchcraft Through the Ages". An excellent collection of vintage clips. Campy, over-the-top narration by Rod Steiger. Watch out for a brief segment from 1903 titled "Electrocuting an Elephant". It looks like they're actually doing that.
